Class PrefixedChecksummedBytes

java.lang.Object

org.bitcoinj.core.PrefixedChecksummedBytes

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<PrefixedChecksummedBytes>

Direct Known Subclasses:

Address, BIP38PrivateKey, DumpedPrivateKey

public abstract class PrefixedChecksummedBytes
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<PrefixedChecksummedBytes>

The following format is often used to represent some type of data (e.g. key or hash of key):

 [prefix] [data bytes] [checksum]
 

and the result is then encoded with some variant of base. This format is most commonly used for addresses and private keys exported using Bitcoin Core's dumpprivkey command.
